After showrunner Armando Iannucci tackled British politics with acidic wit (The Thick Of It), then moved to American politics with equal swagger (Veep), where else could the writer's razor-sharp foul-mouthed humour go? Communist Russian politics?
Well… he did that as well (Death of Stalin).
Now that he has turned over every stone in the political satire realm, he is currently teaming with HBO to create a Sci-fi show.
This does not mark him delving deep into hardcore Trek territory though, it's pretty much his same trademark biting style...yet, set in space. Plus Hugh Laurie!
